Best Method of Carcass Disposal
Best method of carcass disposal is:
- Burial method — Correct Answer
- Surface burning
- Incineration
- Flame gun
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Burial method
The burial method is the best method of carcass disposal. The carcass is buried deep enough (at least 6 feet) to prevent scavengers from digging it up, and covered with lime/quickite before burying to aid decomposition and prevent disease spread.
Methods of Carcass Disposal
- Burial: Best and most commonly used method
- Incineration: Complete burning at high temperature — effective but expensive
- Surface burning: Less effective than incineration
- Rendering: Industrial processing of carcasses
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- Surface burning: Incomplete destruction; may leave infectious material.
- Incineration: Effective but not the standard "best" method; requires special equipment.
- Flame gun: Used for disinfection of premises, not carcass disposal.
